As Josh awkwardly walked to the bathroom he tripped over a book and two different TV cables, then stepped on a bag of chips and someone's hand. In the bathroom he tripped over the edge of a tile, fell headfirst into the toilet, and drowned.

A common word overused by kids in junior high, almost in the same group with "LOL" and "random!". Used to try and impress your preteen friends after or during a long pause between conversations. Also used by idiots whenever there is a pause in speech. Sometimes accompanied by a hand motion resembling a turtle or a turkey.

Teen 1: ...and that's what I did last Saturday!

Teens 2, 3, and 4: ...okay...

*silence*

Teen 5: ..aaaaawkwardddd...

Remember kids, lack of conversation isn't awkward until you actually say it is.

Interjection used in a situation that is slightly uncomfortable, often accompanied by a gesture where the lower arm is thrust out parallel to the ground with the hand open and fingers together with thumb on top.
